(Background of tape, including who made it, theme if any, notable songs, interesting Peel comments, etc)

Although JP was occasionally disparaging of trendy indie music shows, he was known to recommend performances on Snub TV. Indeed it was about the only way to see some of the bands peel played on TV at the time.

Some of my mixtapes from the period include unique versions of tracks by some stalwarts of the Peel programmes. These were recorded in mono, but are of very high sound quality none the less, helped by the fact that TV music broadcasts tended to use less dynamic range compression than radio, and led to a more forceful sound.

Some live studio tracks from the Late Show also make an appearance here, as well as one or two from Scottish Alternative radio.
